Most parents have never heard of this crime, but it’s affecting teenage boys in devastating ways.
Financially motivated sextortion is one of the fastest-growing online crimes, and scammers are targeting teens directly. What starts as an innocent message can escalate into a life-threatening crisis in less than 24 hours.
On average, a case of financially motivated sextortion is reported every 11 minutes in the United States.
It's easy to think, "It won't happen to my kid." But many of these victims are the ones with the most going for them, like a scholarship, a starting spot...something to lose.
But you can fight back. Start the conversation with your child tonight.
